Mike Tyson's former 51,000-square-foot mansion in Farmington, Connecticut, is back on the market in 2026 with an asking price of $9.9 million. Tyson originally purchased the expansive estate for approximately $3 million in 1996, a period following his return to boxing prominence.
The property, situated on about 17 acres, boasted features like an indoor pool, basketball court, gym, and a nightclub, reflecting Tyson's lavish lifestyle. However, its considerable size also entailed high maintenance and operational costs.
In 2003, rapper 50 Cent acquired the mansion from Tyson's ex-wife for $4.1 million. He aimed to leverage its entertainment facilities, including a recording studio, during his successful music career. Despite its celebrity provenance, the estate proved challenging to sell.
After being listed for 12 years, 50 Cent finally sold the property for $2.9 million in 2019. The current owners have since invested over $3 million in renovations, leading to the 2026 listing at more than three times their purchase price.
